I've been keeping this post since FOREVER! I'm so sorry for the delay as I was very busy with my job (double the business since it was almost Hari Raya), and my lovely cat, Chaemong, died on 2nd Hari Raya. ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ž I cried so much (and still am because I miss him TT~TT) but at least he's in peace now, because he was actually really sick.
Okay lets move on before I start to cry again HAHAHA
|| MY SKIN TYPE
I have a very, very dry skin and trust me, I tried all sorts of products to make it normal. The feeling is like when you use mud/ clay mask and when it dries on your skin, you will feel your skin cracking every time you move your face, even just to talk. Really, that is exactly how it feels like! Uncomfortable, and it feels like your skin is going to crack anytimeee. noooo!
Another thing I hate about dry skin is that there's ALWAYS white flakes on your skin, which is the dried, peeled skin. I used to have them around my mouth. which makes me looks like a crazy & lazy fella- going to work without washing my face. Macam air liur basi but it wasn't! it was the skin =.=''
|| PRODUCTS I USE
Trust me I have been trying lots of products! But I tell you, please do NOT have your hands on the products that doesn't come with the KKM or the products that claim themselves to "show the results after 1 usage", "guna sekali terus cantik" bla bla bla, unless you are very sure of their whereabouts. And please do lots of research before trying the products especially if they are clinically tested, the ingredients. Think again, you are risking your face. Most important- google bad review about the products HAHA. This is the easiest you can do!
I will let you know products I use to give you a hint on what products you can try, and some tips I know. Of course, you need to experience few products in order to find the one that best suits your skin!

PHYSIOGEL
Physiogel Dermo-Cleanser
purchase now on HERMO to get the free wallet for purchase above RM 80.00~
Wanna know something? this actually is a body wash HAHAHA! i didn't know when i first bought this, but it's really good for dry & sensitive skin, just like what it claims. I only found out later after months of using it (and it was because I got the free samples which include pamphletes of Physiogel new products HAHA). But i don't really like the texture of the face wash because it was too moisturizing at the point it becomes almost oily. so I just stick with this cleanser.
This cleanser is not the foam type, so don't waste your time rubbing them on your face, hoping it to produce foam because it won't. And, Foam type facial cleanser is not the best for Dry skin type. It will make your skin dryer.
#HStips : buy a small bottle and just fill it up because pumping from the big bottle will cause you to overpump (since it was made for body, not face). #jombelajarberjimat hihi
NATURE REPUBLIC
Two green bottles in the middle - Emulsion & Toner
If you are suffering from dry skin, please, please DO NOT SKIP toner. Pat your skin with dry towel and directly put on toner. do NOT wait, since you just washed away the dirt, oils and moisture from our face so your face is really dry at that time.
I love this toner because it is water-based and not thick. Just, don't skip toner. Okay? 😉
apply emulsion after the toner is absorbed on your skin and you're good to go! This is my everyday routine. Dry skin cannot skip okay! I just use these 2 (and COSRX afterwards) and no night cream. and it works!
The best way to use toner is not to use so many of it in one go. Apply once. let the skin absorb the toner, and apply it again. You can repeat it as many times you want. No problemo~
Toner
COSRX
I actually first found out about the product when I receive free samples from HERMO (I love you, HERMO!). I tried all samples, and I fast fast buy this Whitehead Power Liquid. lol.
I really recommend this for those who have the "jerawat pasir" (help, idk what does it called in English HAHA). What I hate about the jerawat pasir is that they can stay really long UNDER your skin, as if it's not going to fade or what. I always hurt myself trying to poke the pimple out because it was annoying and deep under the skin but the bump is disturbing! And of course, I poke it until I bleed. ã… ~ã… (please don't do that to your skin).
Seriously this product is divine for people who want a healthier skin. It works great with dry skin as it contains Hyaluronic Acid which moisturizes my skin and I strongly recommend this one for you.
you can try google the COSRX Whitehead Remover Review and there are lots and lots of detail review and tips. But it really worth the money.
#HStip : after apply this Whitehead Remover, it is best to wait 30 minutes if before applying more products.
Pros : what it does to your skin
Cons: The smell. i think its weird, but not bad. just, weird. haha!
YADAH
Oh My Sunblock
I got this sunblock for FREE from Hermo for their 5th Birthday Anniversary, and I LOVE IT! This is like, the best sunblock ever. It's not greasy, absorbs well, not sticky, and it moisturizes too! I also got the small sample of it and I gave it to my officemate. Yes, she loves it too!
Best Thing about Yadah is the products are all natural. Seriously, I often skip Emulsion nowadays and just use the sunblock but my skin is getting healthier! no signs of it getting dryer. And good thing about the sunblock is it is white in color. No need to use the Tone Up cream to apply makeup.
Bonus : face mask (got these for free from HERMO!)
Use face mask at least once a week to pamper your skin. For best result, use it everyday but we all know how much a mask sheet costs, right? So, once a week will do 😉
|| MY SKINCARE STEPS
1. Spray PH 11 water from Royal Beauty Water (I got mine from instagram @waterbottle.my )
2. Cleanse my wet face with Physiogel cleanser (direct use cleanser after PH11, no need to wash off first)
3. Pat dry & spray toner.
4. Let the skin absorbs the toner & apply COSRX (night), or Yadah Sunblock (day).
5. For night time- put on emulsion after 30 mins. Day- apply cc cream & compact powder. Done!
Do not skip toner, drink LOTS of water, avoid smoking, and do NOT sleep with makeups on. You won't like what it will do to your skin. No matter how lazy you are, just dont!
Till then,
Thank you for reading this entry!
Assalamualaikum.
